"Oh, that was lovely." - Alice
"Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" (commonly shortened to "Alice in Wonderland"), is a 1865 novel written by English author Charles Lutwidge Dodgson who wrote under the pseudonym Lewis Carroll. Disney reworked the story to fit with both a younger audience and a time frame suitable for an animated film (it's run time is only 75 minutes).
Kathryn
Beaumont, who was born in London England, was just 10 years old when
she was chosen for the voice of Alice. Walt Disney personally cast
Beaumont after seeing her in the film "On an Island with You," in which
the child actress had a small role. Disney was so impressed by her that
she was also chosen to be the model for Alice, and would also go on to
provide the voice for Wendy in "Peter Pan," 1953. Beaumont has also
reprised her voice acting role as Alice in two episodes of the animated
series, Disney's "House of Mouse," and as both Alice and Wendy in the
video game "Kingdom Hearts." She did not retire as the voice of Alice
and Wendy until 2005, when her role for these two characters was taken
over by Hynden Walch.
Initial
design for the character of Alice was accomplished by Mary Blair during
the storyboard phase and also by Les Clark. Alice was animated by Ollie
Johnston and also by Marc Davis and Les Clark, who animated her for the tea party
scene.
This wonderful drawing of Alice is from the most famous scene in the film, the Mad Tea Party. This scene was supervised by veteran Walt Disney animator Les Clark. In this particular sequence, the Dormouse emerges from a skyrocketing cake to recite "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star." He slowly descends into a teapot, and in the next scene Alice smiles, applauds, and says "Oh, that was lovely." This drawing has Alice's dialogue in the upper right: "OH THAT." This is an absolutely perfect image of Alice; she is eyes and mouth open, and would be a great addition to any animation art collection!
